OOPs! A comment from the "other side", take two.
In America, when you arrest someone you are supposed to become their guardian, sometimes against their own bullheadedness.
The prostraint chair is a quantum leap beyond the former alternatives to handling humans out of control (beating, shooting, chaining to the floor or the wall) if used properly and early in the outbreak. If you use it as a torture or execution tool, you do not deserve to walk among free people and ought to take your turn in one. There is no use for a towel on the inmate's face except to render them unconscious or kill them. The "spit masks" are of the same material as the masks horses wear to protect their eyes during fly season and readily admit light and air, unlike towels, especially wet ones.
Suicides in jails very, very often come in pairs or more. Sad fact, but also true of highschools, military units, etc. Can you think of much else lonelier and sadder?

Dear Bhaskar.ing, we hire the police to *protect* us and to look over and control the world for the public good.
When they fail this trust, fail to put themselves in a higher state of action techniques, then they must be removed, punished, discouraged from being hired in the first place by using a better system to weed out the violent bullies before hiring and then families must be repaid for their losses and newer higher standards always implemented with each failure.
India will get there one day, all nations will, I have hope and a belief in the sanctity of life overcoming police and military liberties.

Very sorry atate of affairs, and thank you for the link. In India, I ahve never seen anyone being compensated. This, at least, I admire about the American judicial system. In India, at the most, the guilty officer, is suspended, and the matter finishes there and then.
